Herman, Chaim (Hans)
During the Second World War, he enlisted in the British Army and was assigned to Unit 605 of the Israel Defense Forces. He served in Egypt and the Arab Desert (in Marsa Matruh, Solom, and Tobruk). In March 1941 he was sent to Greece with the British Expeditionary Force, which was intended to stop the German invasion of this country. At the end of April, the corps surrendered to the Germans and most of its men were taken captive. Among them was Chaim. He remained in German captivity for about four years, leading to the “Great March” of prisoners in Germany. As a result of the hardships of captivity and marching, Chaim died of dysentery on the 2nd of Tammuz 5705 (13.6.1945). His place of burial is unknown, his name was immortalized in “The Book of Volunteerism” and “Yizkor Book”.
